Fashion History: 1900-1920

NOTE ON HOW I USE BOOKS:
I filmed the books because I wanted to signal to you my research is grounded mainly in respected and published books. I hope they serve like citations in an essay. I left captions in the shot so you could pause and read them if you wish. Listed below are the books I used.
Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style
ISBN: 978-0-7566-9835-5
(This book is the one with timelines with dates, edited by the Smithsonian.)
How to Read a Dress: A Guide to Changing Fashion from the 16th to the 20th Century
by Lydia Edwards
ISBN: 978-1-4725-3327-2
(This book has the dates and descriptions on the top of the page, with lots of descriptions about the outfit.)
Fashion: A History from the 18th to the 20th Century
ISBN: 978-0-7607-8202-6
(This book has the rest of the book photos, the full page photos, edited by the Kyoto Costume Institute.)
My Fashion History series is all about hitting the important highlights of 20th century fashion that every fashion professional should know to have a good working vocabulary of visual references. It's more of a general overview than a deep dive. This video covers 1900-1920: La Belle Epoque, Edwardian fashion, the Gibson Girl, Orientalism, the effects of World War I, and some important designers of the day: Paquin, Patou, Chanel, and Poiret.

[@laurak2610]

Yes please!!! I was actually thinking I wish there was an easy/compact way to learn about fashion history so I'd watch them all 🥰

[@eifosness]

Yes please!

[@usernamehandle]

Please continue this series, but could you give some more clarification on how we should be using this information? While this is definitely a useful foundation for a general knowledge base, would you say that it's important to keep researching and learning on our own from this point using these main points as key take-aways from the period?

[@Charla2smart]

Please continue

[@toric5719]

Continue please!

[@allishagreen4385]

Please continue the series I would love to see a series on fashion designers who are african American Hispanic Asian just different race and cultures to that would be great

Yes, this would be AMAZING!

[@taffilaing9520]

She would have to come to 21 century if we talking high fashion… because there WERENT any leading any high end label .. until the 90’s u be pressed to find an intern that was BLACK… and that’s from a black 2000’s fashion design grad

[@shennensahir2202]

Please continue this series!

[@MadiStarlight]

I'm not even a fashion student but I've always always been really curious about the drastic change in fashion during this period and you just made it click for me it all makes so much sense! I never drew the connection between fashion and the wars going on but now it makes perfect sense. Thank you so much for answering a lifelong question. Hope you keep doing more of these!

Have you seen the film'Testament of youth'?

I am a Fashion History Geek so....PLEASE CONTINUE this, it is particularly useful for my Fashion Marketing education, because you're citiing houses, people and movements, not just silhouettes! I know it's not the point, but I'd love it if you could do some content on the earlier periods too, especially those that keep getting cited as being trends, like Victorian is at the moment

[@zoehongteaches]

Maybe after I finish the 20th century, if there's a lot of interest. I'll probably make a poll...

[@tehteh25]

@@zoehongteaches thank you for considering the idea =)

i don't know why, i never made the connection between trenchcoats and trenches in my head ??? sounds obvious now, you learn something new everyday :)

This was deeply fascinating! even though i'm no fashion designer, it kind of inspires you to think about current fashion and where it stems from.

[@ruthwezeman6700]

I LOVE that you’re doing a fashion history series- I’m kind of a fashion history nerd but I still learned things from this! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@yumi-nq6xd]

It's incredible the way you always give us information in such an easy and casual way

[@j.terukoblack4896]

I really appreciate you posting these videos for free. I use them in conjunction with my classes (costuming) and look forward to the next video.

I’m doing research on 1910’s clothing for a story I’d like to write and illustrate and this video is perfect! Learned lots of good fashion facts about the era that will definitely be of use.

Hi! Watching this video 4 years after its release but I just wanted to let you know that your video really helped me. I started fashion school for the very first time and was overwhelmed. Your videos are so helpful and explain better than my own teachers (no shade)! Thank you for your great work! XOXO, student from Norway!

[@NicNakToe]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I’ve been looking for videos like this forever : D

[@edgarescamilla2679]

Yes! Please continue, because there are people out there who don't know or get confused by the movements or time periods of historical accuracy; including, contemporary to "modern" decades besides the 60's and 70's. Since I also buy clothing on esty, (for example) you be surprised how Neyon Colores wasn't just or throughout the 80's. It was also in the early 90's still part of the Swim to Resort Wear. And yes, there were changes, etc.

[@corimyers4985]

Please continue! I did this for a project when I was in high school...a Loooong time ago. I'd love to see what I missed as I ran out of time and had to rush to finish it.

I really love the 1930s so I can't wait to see what you talk about. Adrian, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Madeleine Vionnet are my favorite designers of that era.

[@mtngrl5859]

Love this video-- great view of Fashion History. Love earlier periods as well particularly the Regency/Empire period.

[@LEXIDIMPLES93]

Had to stop attending fashion school! 😓 But all of your videos are so helpful and allow me to still get fashion knowledge 🙏🏾😍

[@YorgosVu]

Greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!! One side note ... Trench coats were born from the invention of the gabardine fabric (waterproof weave hence breathable). Up to 1914 the world had seen only Aquascutum rubberised coats with ventilation eyelets on the armholes or A/H gussets. Keep it up!!! We are all learning such a great deal!

[@bonniel4325]

I love this video, yes please do continue the fashion history series. I love learning about fashion and art. Your videos are super informative and interesting. Thank you.

[@harperperri4649]

This was so interesting. I feel like I learned a lot more about stuff I would of never thought about until now.

[@francescamarrollo3931]

I'm not a fashion designer nor a student, I'm simply getting aquainted with the fashion world beacuse in the last year I've deciced to learn sewing, just as a pastime and because of a hint of nostalgia of my grandma, who was a seamstress. However, even if I speak as a total ignorant on the matter of fashion, I want to thank you so very much for your work on this channel. With this Fashion History Series I'm learning to really appreciate how our cultural heritage influences our lifestyle and, ultimately, our wardrobe. It is very, very much interesting and I'm looking forward to new lessons. Again, thank you for your work and the passion you put in doing it!

I really love your lecture very much! Make me desperate to hear your teach and learn more! Though my english is very poor, you speak so clear that I can understand roughly the whole, which is wonderful, I’ve always wanted to learn fashion but I couldn’t make it without any path to reach it. I have no money and time passes, my fashion dream had gone. In my country fashion-related books are very expensive! I feel very lucky and blessed to see your film, even though I’m too old to get into this industry. Thank you very much sincerely!
